pohutukawa and WATW


The pohutukawas, aka New Zealand Christmas Trees, don't fully bloom in Taranaki
by Christmas, so this is a photo from my archives.

Show us your world this week! Link up below by clicking the
blue 'add my link' button.



WATW will be discontinued at the end of the year.  :(  You can read about it here.
I enjoy seeing blogs from around the world and am toying with the idea of 
continuing a weekly link-up here at 
Photographing New Zealand.
If you would be interested in  continuing linking up with the blog world, 
please let me know in a comment. You can also suggest
a name for the link-up, too!

I was unaware it was going! I'm more than happy to continue (I like seeing little glimpse of our fascinating planet). I will think of a name but I'm fairly useless at the moment. Off to read the link on why it's going. And please count me in if you continue the link up

That is a perfect Christmas tree. Every time I was going to pick up a tree I went smaller and smaller until I finally brought home a poinsettia. And since it's been here two days now I predict its demise by this weekend.

Hi. It's nice to see one of your archives. It's very strange for me to celebrate Summer Christmas. Thanks for sharing.

Just love your photo of the pohutukawa tree..brings back many memories of family holidays to me. I have only recently found this link up but would love to join in next year if you continue on. I am not good with names but was thinking Wednesday in my World.

no wonder they're called New Zealand Christmas Trees - so gorgeous with their beautiful red blooms :D)

Of course we are interested in continuing! Thanks for asking us. It's so much fun to see how the internet truly connects us. What day of the week are you thinking about? Thanks for hosting, whatever you decide to do.
